This was the memorial service for old Thomas Bevill, who had died before Christmas at the age of eighty-eight. When be was a Minister at the beginning of the war, I had been one of his personal staff. That had been my introduction to official life, and I knew him better than most of his colleagues did. No one, least of all himself, would have called him a great man, and yet I had learned much from him. In a limited sense of the word, he was a politician, a horn politician. He knew which levers to pull and how to pall them, more exactly than anyone I had met in Government, with a skill one meets more often in people working in a smaller world, such as Arthur Brown in my old college.
Bevill had passion for politics. Like most devoted politicians, he was realistic about everything in them—except his own chances. He had been dismissed, politely but firmly, in 1943, at the age of seventy-four. Everyone but himself knew it was the end. But he delayed taking his peerage (贵族爵位), still hoping that another Conservative government would call him back. New Conservative governments came, but the telephone did not ring. At last, at eighty-four, he accepted his peerage, even then hating it, even then going round asking his friends whether there might be the chance for one more job. When he was told no, his blue eyes ceased to look mild, and became hot any angry. But he surrendered. For the last four yearn, Thomas Bevill had entered another world, under the title of Lord Grampound. [br] In the eyes of the author, Thomas Bevill was ______.
